history
The area around Heichelheim was settled early on. The first archaeological finds date back to the early Iron Age (approx. 750–450 B.C.E.). The first secure mention of the village took place in 1123 in a document from Archbishop Adelbert von Mainz for the Erfurt Marienstift as Huningleiba. A copy is kept in the main state archive in Munich. In 1310 the name changed to Hichelleyben and since the middle of the 14th century documents name both Hucheleiben and Huchelnheim. From the beginning of the 15th century, the name changed from Huchulheim to Huchelheim, Heuchelheim and finally from 1789 to Heichelheim. The name is interpreted as Hugo's property .
A parish in Heichelheim is first mentioned in 1420. At that time it was under the patronage of the Oldisleben monastery and the deanery of Großobringen . In 1880 the pastorate was abolished and the church was subordinated to the pastor of Großobringen. In 1775, a large part of the village, including the school, was destroyed by a large fire. In 1778 the old school building was rebuilt. In 1813, the place was plundered several times during the wars of liberation . In 1838 the tower button contained a document in which, among other things, devastating fires in 1638 and 1775 were reported. In the last year only a few houses next to the church are said to have been spared from the fire. Both in 1806, on the occasion of the battle of Jena and Auerstedt , and in 1813 (the French are on the run after the Battle of Leipzig ), the place is haunted and plundered by soldiers. In 1839 a new school house was built. The neighboring town of Kleinobringen was separated from Heichelheim in 1877 after countless disputes. In 1884 the Heichelheim volunteer fire brigade was founded . From Easter 1886, school operations were expanded to include two classes. In 1890 Heichelheim got a pastor again. In 1912 Kleinobringen finally became a branch of the Heichelheim parish office. Electric lighting was introduced a year later. It was supplied by the Oberweimar electricity company . In 1922 the water pipeline was finally put into operation. In 1931 the parish of Heichelheim was dissolved and Heichelheim and Kleinobringen were assigned to the parish of Großobringen.
Heichelheim was the property of several noble families. The lords of Heichelheim were those of Azmannsdorf (1343) and those of Denstedt (1349). In 1811 the place came to the Weimar Office. The farmers cultivated arable fields and woad . In addition to the manor and the farms, there was a water mill and a windmill.
Every year, the Heichelheimer Potato Festival is celebrated at the Heichelheimer Mühle, where the Thuringian Potato of the Year and the Thuringian Potato Queen are chosen and crowned. Heichelheim is known for its Thuringian dumplings, which are produced in the Thuringian dumpling factory in Heichelheim. In the dumpling museum in Heichelheim you can learn and try everything about this Thuringian delicacy. The Thuringian Dumpling Museum in Heichelheim was run as a non-profit museum from 1999 to 2009, closed in 2010 and reopened as a company museum on August 26, 2011.
On January 1, 2019, the municipality of Heichelheim was merged with other municipalities of the administrative community of Northern Weimar to form the rural municipality of Am Ettersberg .
